Organizations that support persons with intellectual disabilities will likely experience increasing pressure to provide evidence of the benefits of services to participants in programs. In this article we propose a model for assessing goal attainment modified from scales used with other populations that both develops from the person-centered planning process and informs on program and organizational efficacy. Implications for assessing goal attainment and considerations for applying information to improve individual, program and organization quality are presented.

Key Words: goal attainment • human services management • intellectual disabilities • outcome achievement • quality improvement
